After the excitement of opening day, the MLB 2026 season is here. It’s going to be a tough season for all 30 MLB teams to win their divisions and make into the playoffs for a chance to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy at the end of The World Series.

For the regular season, MLB games are spread over five networks (NBC, FOX, ESPN, TBS and MLB Network) and six streaming services (Peacock, FOX One, ESPN Unlimited, HBO Max, Apple TV and MLB.TV), so if you want to catch games, there are a number of ways to watch online. Check out a complete MLB regular season schedule here.

Thankfully, even without cable, you don’t have to miss any of the action this season. You can access out-of-market games on your TV with one of these many affordable cable antennas, and all the MLB games are available to livestream online on a variety of platforms, such as DirecTV, Fubo, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV and more. All of these services (with the exception of Sling) offer free trials that you can use to livestream MLB games online for free.
